Bernina quilt for all Sewing Machine Challenge 2025

After discovering this challenge in 2024, I decided to partake in this year's challenge which will be a denim bag, something similar to this: 

Join on the Facebook page here if you want to join in the fun.  The challenge already started in March and will conclude August 2025.

The first block was done using the seminole patchwork technique.  I had a packet of fat eight's from Tilda's prints and decided to combine it with the denim.  The quilting was done with a variegated thread.

The second block is a decorative strip technique using decorative stitches from our sewing machines as well as denim strips  placed on a denim background.  

After submitting my blocks in time for the March voting, I added some bling to the block.

The third block was done using confetti on a denim background with motifs on top covered with netting which was all held in place with dense free motion quilting.  I had some confetti left of a UFO I started way back in 2012 and used some of that.  

The flowers I added on top was made out of different mediums like felt, faux leather, organza and metallic thread.

Most of the detail of the flowers was however lost after the quilting was done.  Luckily I kept a few pieces and added them afterwards on top of the block.

The fourth and last block for March was an applique block.  As I haven't decided on a specific theme, I just went with a pretty bow to which I added a rhinestone and some lace.  Some variegated thread completed the applique.

These four blocks didn't however receive enough votes to reach one of the first three places.  Well, on to April's challenge which is 8 blocks.
